Banta sa buhay ni Trillanes, bunga ng kanyang imahinasyon

MANILA – Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo on Friday said opposition Senator Antonio Trillanes IV is just hallucinating for claiming his life is now in danger.

“To be clear, his supposed arbitrary arrest, and now threat to his life, are but figments of his imagination,” Panelo said in a statement.

Panelo slammed Trillanes for continuously seeking refuge in the Senate despite assurance from President Rodrigo Duterte the senator will not be arrested without a warrant issued by the court.

“Noticing, however, that his supposed arbitrary arrest drama is losing media traction, Senator Trillanes is now claiming that his life is in danger by releasing a supposed video footage showing that an unidentified vehicle is casing his house,” Panelo said.

Panelo added that there has never been any concrete report showing any attempt against Trillanes’ life.

“These are all publicity stunts of Senator Trillanes not only to besmirch the reputation of the President but also to milk publicity for himself,” he said.

He challenged the senator to take legal action if the latter believes there is no basis for his arrest.

Panelo said Trillanes should stop acting like “an anxious puppy pretending to be a political target by the President all the time”.
